Public bug reported:
Today I tried to boot an old Windows 7 vm. I am not sure the last time I booted
it (probably not the whole 12.04 cycle). The domain xml had the following:
<video>
<model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02'
function='0x0'/>
</video>
However it would not boot unless I changed this to:
<video>
<model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02'
function='0x0'/>
</video>
I have several Windows XP guests as well, and I had to change all of
them to use 'cirrus' as well.
This probably needs a release note as the error message was not at all
clear and this may be a usability issues for people upgrading to
precise. Full domain xml is attached.
